So, my household and others, have found a new favorite breakfast food. Nutella is a delicious hazelnut spread that is positively wonderful on a piece of toast and even better on a waffle! For the party, I prepared several different delights featuring Nutella and there was not a bad combination in the bunch! It even tastes great spread on fresh fruit like apples and strawberries.Nutella was very kind to sponsor the MommyParties event. All party guest received a fun goodie bag with Nutella spread samples, coupons, spreaders, and my personal favorite travel mugs!!Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and with a little Nutella spread on a whole grain english muffin served with milk and fruit is the perfect way to "break the fast" and get your body going.It is important to note that Nutella does not contain peanuts or peanut ingredients and it doesn't come in contact with peanuts during manufacturing. Also, it does not contain any ingredients derived from gluten containing cereal; wheat, barley rye, oats or triticale. It is a Kosher Product as well.So thank you once again to MommyParties, Nutella, and my party guests. I hope we can gather again soon! I'll bring the Nutella!!

Well, it has been so long since I posted... let's see if I remember how!!Recently I was sent some delicious Progresso Soup along with some other goodies courtesy of MyBlogSpark and Progresso.

There were 2 varieties,Chicken Tortilla and Light New England Clam Chowder. Out of the 2 my favorite was the Chicken Tortilla. It was flavorful with just the right amount of spice to it. The pieces of chicken were large and visible, not like some soups that you can't even see the chicken! This soup is part of Progresso® New World RecipesTM which are inspired by Mexican recipes. Made with authentic Mexican ingredients and seasonings, there will be four new Progresso soups coming to grocery store shelves near you - Chicken Tortilla, Meatball & Rice, Black Bean Jalapeno and Chicken & Vegetable. The Light New England Clam Chowder was very tasty as well. I was only able to obtain a bite, as my son devoured the whole bowl before I could go back for another bite! He said it was creamy with nice sized pieces of clams. Very authentic were his words!

So, would you like to win a prize pack too?? Just enter below. Go to the Progresso Website and leave me a comment telling me which flavor of soup you would like to try! Isn't that simple??This giveaway will end on March 26th at 9pm EST. I will use Random.org to select a winner! Legal stuff: All opinions are my own. The product, information and prize packs were all given to you from Progresso through MyBlogSpark.
